Thermal Compound Roundup – February 2011
Conclusions
Contents
Our results are crystal clear: at least with the five brands we included in our roundup, the thermal compound has minimal impact in cooling performance. We tested only five different products (which really is a small sample), but the results were consistent.
From the five thermal compounds we tested, four of them shown practically the same performance. Only the Prolimatech compound behaved differently, but the difference was of only three Celsius degrees, just one degree above our error margin.
We will soon test more thermal compounds and see if the picture is the same. Hang on!
